Module 13 Flashcards
When evaluating total body composition the composition the body is measured by 4 proportions, what are they
Water, protein, minerals, and fat
What are the fat free components of the body
Bone, muscle, other component such as connective and organ tissues, and water
Name all the two-compartment methods used to measure body composition
Hydrodensirometry , skinfold thickness measurements, bio-electric impedance measurement, and air displacement plethysmography
Name the 3 and 4 compartment methods used to measure body composition
Near-infrared interactance and DXA
This value is determined by dividing the weight of the patient in kilograms by their height in squared meters
Body mass index or BMI
BMI below this number is considered underweight
18.5
BMI between these numbers are considered a normal weight
18.5 and 24.9
BMI above this number is considered overweight
25
BMI above this number is considered obesity
30
This method weighs an individual normally and then weighs them again submerged in water
Hydrodensitometry
What formulas are used to calculate hydrodensitometry?
Siri and Brozek
This method obtains an estimated percentage of body fat by utilizing a caliper to measure the skin fold thickness of an individual in specific locations
Skin fold thickness
What sites are used to obtain skinfold thickness
Abdomen, the triceps, chest, midaxillary line, and thigh. The subscapular and suprailiac sites can be used to
What formula is used to obtain skin fold thickness measurements
Jackson and Pollock
This method of measurement can have the subject laying on the table with electros hooked up to their arms or legs or have the patient standing without shoes or socks on a metal plate
Bio electric impedance analysis
This method of measurement has individuals placed within an oval chamber or the volume of air displacement can be measured exactly
Air displacement plethysmography
This method uses an infrared spectroscopy probe to measure body composition
Near infrared interactance
What 4 compartments can DXA divide the body When measuring for body composition
Bone, muscle, fat, and skin
Which 2 methods are considered the most accurate
DXA and hydrodensitometry
What 3 groups of people are body composition scans divided into
HIV patients that are taking antiretroviral agents, bariatric patients expecting weight loss that exceeds 10% of total weight, pts with musculoskeletal weakness
Which 2 HIV drugs Show side effects of an increase in lean body mass
Stavudine and Zidovudine
